Here’s a list of the best weapon mods that players can add to their Fallout 4 game. Some mods add new weapons, some improve the ones that are already there, and others change how the fighting works. But all of them will make it easier for you to survive in the post-apocalyptic Commonwealth.
10. Modern Weapon Replacers – All-In-One Pack
If you don’t like the basic look of the game’s original weapons and want something more modern, try the Modern Weapon Replacer All-In-One Pack.
This mod doesn’t have any weapons itself. Instead, it’s like an installer system called FOMOD. It lets players choose and install the weapons they want to replace the original ones in the game. The mod’s page lists all the weapons available. Just download the ones you want and follow the simple instructions to replace them.
9. Wasteland Tactical – Visible Weapons On Packs
If you want your game to feel more realistic and not have invisible weapons in your pockets, try Wasteland Tactical – Visible Weapons On Packs. This mod lets you attach weapons directly to your backpack for a more rugged and realistic experience.
Make sure to read the instructions carefully to get the most out of this mod. There are some neat things you can do that affect both you and your colorful companions. It’s a great way to feel like a survivalist in Fallout 4.
8. Weapons Overhaul Redux
The6thMessenger has made many weapon overhaul mods, but they can take up a lot of space. Weapons Overhaul Redux combines them into one mod, freeing up room for other mods.
This mod improves the stats and damage of weapons and their add-ons, making them more powerful. It’s great for players who want their guns to be more balanced and realistic. It affects everything from common weapons to Legendary ones.
7. Doombased Weapons Merged Pack
DOOMBASED has created many awesome weapons for Fallout 4. They put all these weapons into one package called the Doombased Weapons Merged Pack, which saves space in your game.
This pack includes new shotguns, submachine guns, and pistols. It’s great for players who want to keep the original Fallout 4 weapons but also add some new ones for more variety.
6. Weaponsmith Extended
DOOMBASED might be too small for some people. If you want a lot of powerful weapons, the Weaponsmith Extended pack is perfect for you.
This mod collects the best weapon mods from the Nexus site, including everything from a Colt Python to a Star Trek Assault Phaser. It’s not the most realistic for the Fallout 4 world, but it’s full of awesome guns that can change how you play the game.
5. Weapon Balance Overhaul
Several mods change weapon damage, each with its good and bad points. The Weapon Balance Overhaul mod easily makes these changes.
The mod’s description shows how detailed the creator wanted it to be. It rebalances classic guns, but also unique ones like the Railway Rifle and Junk Jet. If you want to make the game easier without ruining the experience, this mod is a great choice.
4. Skibadaa Weapon Pack Redux
The Skibadaa Weapon Pack Redux is a great mod that fits perfectly into the game’s story and world. Each weapon looks realistic and has been made with great attention to detail.
The mod adds several new weapons, including three Miniguns that you can find on dead raiders or in loot chests. You can also get heavier weapons from tougher enemies. The unique design of each weapon makes this mod stand out from other weapon mods, making it a must-have for players who enjoy getting new weapons.
3. Mikemoor’s MCAM Weapon Pack
If you like fighting up close in Fallout 4, the game’s selection of melee weapons might not be good enough for you. To fix this, you can install Mikemoore’s MCAM (Melee, Collectable, and Adventure Mod) Weapons Pack. This mod adds 30 new weapons, including katanas, tomahawks, and even a frying pan for fun.
The mod also features two characters with voices and six new areas to explore that are connected to the weapons and add some story. It’s a great addition if you want more options for close combat in the game.
2. Hunting Shotgun
Fallout New Vegas had many special weapons unique to the Mojave Wasteland. One of these was the Hunting Shotgun, a powerful 12-gauge shotgun great for mid-to-high-level players. A mod now brings this gun back to the Commonwealth.
This mod includes the main shotgun with some customization options and two unique legendary versions you can find on the map. The gun is balanced to be a bit stronger than other shotguns in the game, but it’s still a good choice for early to mid-game fights.
1. See Through Scopes
Among all the weapon mods on this list, See Through Scopes is the best and the coolest. It makes the game feel more real than the standard scope system in Fallout 4. The mod works by removing the black screen that usually appears when you look through a scope.
Instead, when you aim with a scope, it zooms the camera in close to the lens while still showing the environment around you. This is great for a few reasons. First, it feels more real. Second, it makes using sniper scopes easier, more intuitive, and realistic.
Also, it’s perfect for anyone playing Fallout 4 on a 21:9 or 32:9 monitor because the user interface doesn’t get squished like it normally would in first-person scope mode. Make sure to read the instructions carefully to know how to install this mod. Once it’s set up, you can enjoy a new way of using scopes that will make you never want to go back to the original system.
